A woman was among the nine injured.

Inspector General of Police GHP Raju said the outlawed Garo National Liberation Army (Jimi), a tribal militant outfit, blew up a wine shop in William Nagar’s main market at around 12.40 pm in a low intensity explosion. The wine shop was completely destroyed in the blast, which sources claimed the explosion could be in retaliation to the recent surrender of some GNLA cadres.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
